It's no bald faced lie...the same people who regularly rate San Antonio among the fattest cities in the country now say we're among the baldest as well.

Men's Health magazine rates San Antonio the fourth baldest city in America, in a survey of factors that contribute to the 'overall quality' of men who live in the 101 biggest cities in the country.

You can run but you can't hide, Corpus Christi is rated as the baldest city in America. Other follically challenged metropolises include Washington DC at nubmer two, Baltimore at number three, and Atlanta at number five.

Men's Health says it based its chrome dome chronology on Centers of Disease Control surveys on doctors visits in searchof Rogaine and other hair restoration products, as well as the number of hair implant operations per capita.

San Antonio dermatologist Dr. Vivian Bucay says there is a link between baldness and that other condition which is so troubling in San Antonio, diabetes.

She told Men's Health that the same bodily changes that happen with insulin resistance in diabetes patients will also produce an enzyme which causes male pattern baldness.

I looked in the mirror today
My eyes just didn't seem so bright
I've lost a few more hairs
I think I'm going bald

I think I'm going bald

Seems like only yesterday
We would sit and talk of dreams all night
Dreams of youth
And simple truths
Now we're so involved
So involved with life

Walk down vanity fair
Memory lane everywhere
Wall Street shuffles there
Dressed in flowing hair

Once we loved the flowers
Now we ask the price of the land
Once we would take water
But now it must be wine
Now we've been
And now we've seen
What price peace of mind

Take a piece of my mind

My life is slipping away
I'm aging every day
But even when I'm grey
I'll still be grey my way

Sincerely,

Neil Peart
